Vamshhi Krrishna, Andhra's opening batter bludgeons 6 sixes in an over; joins epic list

After this, he went straight with the bat and then delivered the same result. With the left-arm spinner Damandeep Singh pitching the third ball on middle and leg, Krrishna disdainfully launched over long-on.
This brought Krrishna's half-century. But he didn't stop at this. He did a repeat of the first shot on the fourth delivery and the next came off a sweep.
The last Six were latched on to a short leg, rocking onto the backfoot and clubbing it over the deep fence. Ravi Shastri was the first-ever Indian batter to hit six sixes in an over. He achieved this feat for Mumbai against Baroda in the 1985-86 Ranji Trophy season.
He became the second only after Gary Sobers to clobber the bowler six times over the rope. Following Shastri, Yuvraj Singh was the first Indian and remains the only one to do so on the international stage, as he took on Stuart Broad in Durban at the T20 World Cup. The third in the list belongs to Ruturaj Gaikwad who ended up smoking not just six but 7 sixes in an over in the 2022 Vijay Hazare match between Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
